Oklahoma City Thunder vs Sacramento Kings Best Bet: Tuesday, February 28th

We have a busy NBA schedule tonight and our emphasis will be on Peycom Center where the young Thunder team will host the biggest surprise of the season, the Sacramento Kings.

The Thunder have started losing games in series and have fallen out of the playoff conversation whilst the Kings show no signs of stopping anytime soon, holding a comfortable home-court advantage playoff spot.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Sacramento Kings Preview

Wed, Feb 28th. 12:00 am (UK time)

The Thudner’s season had its ups and downs. They have been losing for the last couple of weeks. Although they’ve been troubled with injuries during most part of the season, they managed to show some great potential on both sides of the floor. They are sitting on a 28-32 record, averaging a respectable 117.5 points per game. The Thunder are averaging almost 10 steals per game as well, although their defence generally hasn’t been impressive. Their rim protection is very weak, and experienced scorers like Sabonis and Fox who like to slash will know how to exploit their weaknesses in the paint.

For tonight’s game, they will be missing S.Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle injury), C. Holmgren (Leg injury), and A. Pokusevski (Foot injury).

The Kings are the biggest refreshment for the league this season. Nobody expected them to battle for the top 3 spots. Their offence has been fantastic. They are averaging over 120 points per game with an impressive 58% field goal eprcentage. They are scoring 16 fastbreak points per game which puts them at top of the league. Overall their offence has been clicking after the trades and we believe they have a real chance in the playoffs as well.

Although total points bets have been a lock with the Kings this season, the OKC team is prone to fatigue. We will bet on the Kings to secure the confident win tonight in Oklahoma City. If we don’t get surprised by the injury sheet update regarding the Kings’ roster for tonight we should be in for a smooth cruise if they plan on still competing for the top of the West.
